A pad spur, you can pick them up at most paint and body supply stores.

I realize that, but is one better than another for some Super type (patented) reason, or, are they just about all the same as I "think" they are?

Guys, come on. I don't think that's what Changeling wants to hear :tumblewee

That's what I sometimes reach for. Not a good idea for a foam pad though. :grinno:

I seen a video not long ago and I can't remember where I had seen it, but the guy cleaned the wool pad with a wire brush to remove loose wool fur so there is less of a mess and no shedding. I am not sure if you guys have seen it.



If you see it, DO NOT do that. If a loose bristle gets caught in the wool you will have severe trouble and problems.

I bought a boat kit from CMA and they had a wire brush in the kit, just like you get at Lowes or Home Depot to scrape paint with. They even had a little instruction booklet showing a guy using that on a wool pad - just looked wrong to me. Rydawg brought up an excellent point (pun intended) one loose wire in that wool and you'll cuss yourself for gettin outta bed that day.

It's amazing on some peoples bright ideas:think2 Ummm no good can come from this.

At $20.00 bucks a pop plus shipping for each Edge wool pad, I want to use something designed directly for it's intended purpose. :wow:



I'm really glad a wire brush was mentioned as a no-no, somewhere along the line I might have considered using one. Up front it sounds good, :think: till you think about it.



I take it that the spur Tom gave me the link for will work on wool and foam, I just like to be sure about things.



Thanks guys, Change

On a wool pad all you have to do is hold a screwdriver sideways. I feel it does just as good a job as a spur in half the time..plus you probably already have one.
